This ad from the American Beverage Institute, featuring "Lindsey" Lohan's mug shot, appears in USA Today today. It's a lobbying effort, to be sure, to get you to think twice about mandates for "interlocks," which are essentially breathalyzers installed in your car that would prevent the ignition from starting if you're blitzed. The message: The device would be good for the Lohans of the world, but bad for regular, everyday boozers.
It's sort of like when Big Tobacco tried convincing you that the FDA shouldn't regulate cigarettes because they can't even regulate food and drugs very well. That is, it's crap.
But the more important matter: Could Lindsay Lohan sue over the use of her photograph? And did the L.A. County Sheriff's Department grant licensing rights?

Mugshots are public domain
This is ridiculous. Regardless of the interlock issue, comparing boozers is pointless. A drunk at the wheel is a drunk at the wheel.
